The fourth film in the Twilight Saga brings us the Edward/Bella wedding and how that affects the Vampires, Werewolves Something we were expecting was love triangle melodrama from our two leads and Jacob, the wolf man-boy. Something we were not expecting: Abortion discussions, and a movie that at least makes us think of old horror movies like Rosemary's Baby and The Brood. Yes we are just as surprised as you are.

We are reviewing the third chapter of the Twilight Saga with Eclipse.

But everyone else move out of the way because the real stars of this movie are f*cking Civil War and early 20th Century era vampires Jasper and Rosalie.
